COMPARISON OF EUROPEAN
NAvIEs.

One interesting part Of Lloyd's New
Universal Register is an attempt to state
the relative strength of the navies Of the
world. All such estimates are, of course,
to be taken with reserve. In the prob
lem there are elements which elude the
stst.stician. The data are far from be-
ing hi lstworthy. We know that naval
constructors fight as fercely over mat
tiers of theory as navies are ever likely
to do in actual warfare, and that the fig.
ures are in dispute. But it is interesting
to see in tabular form details, more or
less accurate, as to the speed, armor and
penetrating power of the guns of the
navies Of the world. These figures are
much less satisfactory than those relative
to the mercantile marine. The protect
ing force is not commensurate with that
which must be protected. The strength
of the English Navy is apparent in these
tables, but 80 also are the multifarious
and almost limitless demands upon it.
In point Of speed it does not appear to
suffer from q comparison. France has
% vessels carrying SO guns, and able to
steam IL knots or more an hour; Ger
many has 5, with an armament OF "a
guns, while England has AZ such vessels,
carrying 1877 guns. If we turn to vessels
steaming more than IA knots an hour,
the comparison is less favorable; the fig
ures for this country appear to be SO
vessels with 705 guns; France. SO with
699, and for Germany, 35 with 2S5 guns.
Besides, too, the speed with which our
vessels are credited is estimated on the
results shown in trial trips; the ordinary
results would be probably 2 or 3 knots
less. A survey of the navies Of the
world from this point of view is far from
reassuring; and little satisfaction is de-
rived from contemplating other details
furnished by these tables. If correct,
they appear to show that of guns capa-
BILE of penetrating Pinch armor England
possesses 36S carried in IS vessels, and
France l53 carried in so vessels. The
former has Is vessels capable Of resisting
guns penetrating lS-inch armor. But in
regard to vessels with still more power
full armor, the comparison is not what
could be wished. Things are far from
what they ought to be when it appears
that this country possesses only eight
coast defense armorclads of the type of
the Cyclops and Citation, with finch
armor, and that France has apparently
no fewer than Is vessels, such as the
Vengeur, Tonnant and Tempete.

A noNsrER

Advices to the Maritime Exchange oil
New York City report the launching at
Leith, Scotland, of a beautifully-modeled
saloon steamer called the Fatshan. She
has been specially constructed for the
night passenger service on the Pearl
river, between Hongkong and Canton,
and is built in a most unique style. She
is also similar to our well.known ex.
cursion boat, the Grand Republic or the
Colombia, q type of craft that is new in
England and China, as yet. Owing to
the Pearl river having been rendered al.
most unnavigable in consequence of the
Chinese throwing large quantities Of
stones and rubbish into the bed to pre-.
vent the French from invading the river,
everything has been done to insure a
light water draft, Notwithstanding the
immense size of the vessel, nearly 2,260
tons. To offset any fatality should the
vessel strand and receive damage to her
keel, she has been furnished with a
double bottom. Pirates swarm about
the Pearl river, and to prevent them
from invading the vessel and massacring
the crow and passengers, the stairs lead.
ing to the several decks have iron graf.
ings at the top, which can be closed
down at a moments notice. In this way
the robbers can be kept in that part of
the craft which they first favor with
their obnoxious presence. The sleeping
berths of the ship will accommodate
5000 passengers, a number that will
surprise some of our local mariners who
think the Pilgrim and other Sound boats
are 30 big. The European, Chinese and
Parsee Jews will be given separate apart.
ments. The steering apparatus is worked
from the bow of the craft. This is es.
s~ential, as the navigator will have to be
stationed as much forward as possible to
see the numerous rocks that lie about
the waters of the Pearl river. Two
thousand passengers may comfortably
stroll on the promenade deck at one
time, another "eye opener " for onr local
builders and mariners. The steamer has
all the late appliances. including electric
lights.

In q Boston divorce case, tried last
week, the plaintiff was Daniel Webster
and his defendant wife's maiden name
was Catherine Leroy. Now turn to the
biography of the only original, Godlike

second wife was Catherine Leroy. 1t is
a strange coincidence, but stops short
before the divorce.
